This week, I was able to package and help Dan organise the final bit of the game and the presentation from the gameplay. My wife had to be hospitalised due to suspicion of pulmonary emboli due to the labour, and it shook everything in my life. I had some latest conclusions to share from a…More

This week was the 37th week of my wife pregnancy; we started the countdown to receive our second son, Gabriel. With this in mind, I began to push the team to build up the presentation and consider that I would be absent for a while.  Group contributions: setting up presentation goals With my new baby…More

This week I worked at the inventory and item system, adding new items and building up the mechanic of re-use enemies without using the data model behind build using Machine Learning. We discussed how the item systems would work; we detailed the player interface and started introducing the 3D models to the game. Group contributions:…More

This week, I spent all my time reviewing the codebase, organising what we had produced, revisiting the CI/CD pipeline, adding new assets and creating new items for the game. On teamwork, we had some friction over the description and status of the activities.  Group contributions: combat reviewed, scene structure and many assets This week, the…More

This week was the opposite of the theme propose and was not performant at all.  Exceptionally this week, the order of my personal development log comes first from the group report. So it…More

This week we put every bit of our work together to make the presentation. It was personally challenging for me to review what I wrote so many times and present live it. So the research part was halted. Group contributions: presentation effort This week started with the retrospective session from the previous week.  Next, we…More

Group contributions: not so much built from my side, more on the concepts of the game This week I didn’t produce code. Instead, I brought the team a new game mechanic: re-use the enemies and make them work as allies. My research was moving in the direction to update the ML data model using the…More

This week, we finalised the description of the world, decided the names of the characters and received the designs of the protagonist, now named Asimov and of his companion Spark and how they will interact. Some documentation started to perish on my notes, and I started a Game Design Document section at the confluence to…More

From week 3 to the final post follows much of my memory of the project. I described in those posts what happened much later in their respective week. I had some issues during the project that was life-changing somehow, and I am still getting habituated to them. So some of what I described here might…More
